What makes a salad truly spectacular are bright colors, aromatic flavors, and variations in texture. A Blood Orange salad accomplishes all of that!
A TikTok creator named Alexandra Dudley (@alexandradudleyofficial) has a recipe for Blood Orange salad. The basis of this dish consists of one tardivo radicchio, which is an elegant-looking vegetable with white and purple leaves, and one blood orange.
If you’ve never tried a blood orange before, they’re pretty similar to regular oranges but have a more complex flavor.
Blood oranges are less acidic and have a sweet, floral taste. Its flesh is crimson-red, resembling blood, hence the name. The fruit’s vibrant hue is positively stunning!
Plus, they contain several health benefits, including essential vitamins and minerals.
If you can’t get your hands on any radicchio or blood oranges, any kind of bitter leafy greens and regular oranges will do.
Once you have those two foundational items in your kitchen, gather the ingredients for the dressing. The dressing is what really gives this salad its pizazz. Here’s what you need to prepare it.
Dressing Ingredients:
- 1 teaspoon of whole coriander seeds
- 1 teaspoon of pink peppercorns
- 3 tablespoons of olive oil
- 1 tablespoon of apple cider vinegar
- 1 tablespoon of runny honey
- A pinch of salt

Directions:
First, toast the coriander seeds in an unoiled frying pan over medium heat. Remove the seeds from the pan after three minutes or when they start to smell fragrant.
Next, transfer the toasted seeds to a mortar and pestle with the pink peppercorns. Then, crush everything up until they are partially broken down.
But don’t break them up all the way; you want to leave your salad with some texture.
In a separate bowl, combine all the dressing ingredients together. Afterward, separate the leaves of the radicchio, wash them, and pat them dry.
Remove the skin from the blood orange and slice it into sections. Finally, arrange the radicchio leaves onto a plate, along with the segments of blood orange.
Spoon the dressing over the top, and enjoy!
